In brief

Kettlebell Simple & Sinister is a named practice of swings and get-ups.

The common picture
Two movesSwings and get-ups.
A bell, a timerThe whole gym some weeks.
Not CrossFitDifferent culture.

Kettlebell forums treat it as a two-move on-ramp with a timer and one bell, not a CrossFit class or a sport meet.

Good to know. Rushed get-ups. Sharp pain. Not a kettlebell sport meet.
